Egg Fried Rice Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Wow...what a legend. I bet richard is crapping it that he's driving Evel around in that mahoosive hummer. Edited December 23, 2007 by Johnson Kan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Evel really was on his last legs when they were filming this . Never been interested in him to be honest but it's stil lsad to see him keep having to cut interviews short to go back to his care home. Lmao at the guy staying at the same hotel as hammond "Oh I'm sorry did I leave my door open? We're filming a documentary,are you staying here ?." "No I'm down here. *points to room*" "I didn't mean actually here..it's a mat." Lol funny folke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Fried Rice Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 hmmmmmMy views have changed about this man now he just seems so big headed and think he's the best all the time. He was good and he knows it, which is probably why he was so cocky, a bit like most people who know they are good at something.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Could tell from the beggining he was'nt very open to discuss his career. Shame he's passed away thou. One of the true legends.Have I got News For You! Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 He was good and he knows it, which is probably why he was so cockyI don't think he was that good... at all. The guy had massive balls and no fear but his technical ability was truly shocking. There was no thought into any of his jumps (i.e. trajectory, speed, bike setup), he just hit the ramps and that's it. Didn't even use the brakes or throttle to try and sort the bike out in the air. To be honest he was, well, a bit crap. A total legend of course but made a huge name for himself out of nothing I'd say.Seems like one seriously messed up character as well. Ah well, made for good viewing nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 He really did change through the film didn't he, I think on the last few visits from Richard he knew he didn't have long left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 what a big headed old man he has made a few achivements (and crashes) in his life but he obviously thinks hes the bestHe was, he was the first man to do anything like that, and you have to remember the bike he was doing it on, not a YZF450 or whatever, a Harley Davidson which weighed at least twice as much as the modern bikes.And he was the first guy to do it.

M-i-t-c-h Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 was disappointed, evil seemed a bit of a d*ck, i always thought he was one of the coolest guys on the planet but now im thinking again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 If you read his bio on wiki it shows he was always a bit of a twat..."Knievel did very well as an insurance salesman (even selling insurance policies to several institutionalized mental patients) and wanted recognition for his efforts. When the company refused to promote him to vice-president after a few months on the job, he quit."Seems he was always just trying to con people to make money, what a fanny.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evel_Knievel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
